Here's hoping we start all over again doon Leith Road, and the temptation tae BEVVY again will be right in our face - all over the Hibees shirts.

Alec, love your philosophical rantings/ literary interjects, world salad, and classic football anorak offerings. All the best from a Tic fan . Rangers were by far the better team. Here’s to genuine rivalry without the sectarian pish.
@@ronan1ify thanks for taking the time to watch the pods, Kenneth. Appreciated, mate. And never a truer word said about good honest rivalry, all united by a love of the game.
Hilarious, informative, engaging and entertaining as usual Alec! Loving the Greggs hangover cure description (accurate) and random burst into New Year's Day 😀. Agree about the anti-intellectual nonsense regarding sports science. Keep up the good work and take care 👍.
Great work Alex , good man , your intro was brilliant over done the celebrations 😂 quite right as well , pumped us raw to be fair , glad to see your hydrated that's a science btw 😊 nutrition , data , maximising performance at every level .
Looking forward to the game against Hibs tomorrow. Always a tough contest but I'm confident we can win it. So many great games between both clubs in the past. Glad to hear you mentioning the baseball ⚾️.......I have enjoyed a few nights/ days out watching the Houston Astros.....hotdogs and beer 🍺.....a great combo. Another great pod Alex.
@@Albertlindie much appreciated, Albert. The Houston Astros? Nice! Yeah, I saw the Bluejays way back in 89, the week after the Skydome opened, the Mets at Shay in 2002 and - even more iconic - the Cubs at The Friendly Confines in 2008. Amazingly, the Mariners were the visitors in both my first two games (Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley). Still don't know a thing about the game but, yup, hotdogs, beer and a ballpark is a dream come true every time🌭🍺⚾

sounds brilliant mate I had mash tatties. Brussel sprouts, sausages in a lovely gravy always works for me. Couple of glass of red wine and a couple of beers braw!!!
Eck, your first 5 minutes had me in stitches. It reminds me of many post Bangkok Bear mornings, having to remind myself I’m actually in Thailand not in my birth city of Eberdeen. I’m trying to stick to Diet Coke tonight to watch our (hopeful) 3 points at Easter Road. I’m thankful when reading your comments that there are ‘some’ ‘nice’ Celtic comments. There are those that I wonder, why they bother. Keep up the good work Eck. Gaz
@@gazza5542 I've woken up like that in your birth city too, Garry: morning after my mate's 40th. Ooft. That's how I cope with all the Celtic comments - too pished to care😉😄🍻 Many thanks, sir🫡💙
See Raskin and Propper having a wee chat before the corner. There was a plan, drawing ccv away, so the wee man gets a free header. Class. Great listen as always Eck you were my supporting listen while taking the decorations down, not a bad thing a celebration. Sure we’ll play the same squad tomorrow. Thanks as always.
Many thanks, James. Appreciate you taking the time again, sir and honoured to have been on your device during what is a very sombre occasion, so sombre in fact that I totally kopped out and recorded this while my other half took care of packing away the decorations. Hope the Teds don't shirk their responsibilities so readily at ER but, whatever the outcome there, you're totally correct: No bad thing at all, a celebration. Some occasions have been so long coming you need to mark their arrival to help bed them in, thereby ensuring they happen again At least that's how boozebags like me justify it.🍻🥃 Here's to many more magical Benelux Bears corner routines.
brilliant start to the video 😂😂😂 I'm feeling good for the day at Easter road I would go with the same team as thursday nico raskin stays captain .. if we turn up we'll beat them .. 🔴⚪🔵
Great listen once again Sir! Our record at Easter Road is very decent but 12 noon KO and possibly snowy conditions will make it very tough! BTW - I can’t recall David Gray scoring against us at Hampden either! 😂
😅😅😬 aye, I can never remember where I put the hoose keys but I'll never forget that goal, no matter how hard I try. And your bang-on, of course, about the scenario through at Easter Road - this'll be tough.Thanks for checkout Ng out the pod again, Andy🫡💙👍

Another great pod and rabble alex great intro i thought i had overdosed on my vitimin c or it was an affect of too much drink and euphoria earlier in the day i said i need to get my brain back in action nothing better than a good book isaac isimov came to mind got a few chapters in to the short story the last question then thinking why did i pick an isaac book mind was wondering 🤔 ah i was watching a doc about fake moon landings plus the mobile phone been playing up subconscious been thinking about computer and electronic fixes ah or the drink has knocked me into a differnt domain 😅 better take a big glass of water and get this head sorted keep the pods going alex best Wes 👌
😆😆Aye, too much Vitamin C - I'm having that as my excuse too, Wes. Brilliant🫡 Don't think I've ever read a single line of Isaac Asimov but need to as I have seriously enjoyed some of the movie adaptations. And I do like a good conspiracy doc - hope this one featured the fact Kubrick had Danny wearing a jumper with a NASA rocket on it in The Shining coz this was Kubrick confessing to having staged the moon landing "footage". Anyway, here's hoping the Rangers continue their story tomorrow. That derby win was out of this world - but now prove to us it wasn't fiction, Teds! Thanks so much for watching again, mate. Enjoy the game and the rest of that Asimov story👌💙🍻

Like I say, it was Rob from Gersnet who pointed it out to me last night. 😆Everyone, anyone - we weren't joking.
I went to Celtic v Barcelona later on that season in knockouts of champions league. Celtic lost 3-2 having been ahead. After a good start, they got played around by being so open. When the match finished, the Celtic fans I went with were all at me, “wouldn’t you rather lose playing like us than drawing the way you did?” They couldn’t believe I said no, you did exactly what they wanted to, played their game. They even applauded their fans at the end, get that to fuck. Four years later, they lauded Neil Lennon for his anti football set up when he didn’t do what Barca wanted and beat them 2-1 with 19% possession.
Summed up brilliantly, MultipleMan. The "whatever we do is right; whatever they do is wrong" attitude always catches itself out. And it was never more self-evident at that point in time. Although, of course, this is why we were inundated with congratulations from the same Celtic fans when we were utterly scintillating en route to our next European final.
@ I agree , every transfer window I don’t look for who we are signing, I first look to see if anyone is buying him from Celtic. Almost every point they have dropped since he arrived, he has been absent.
